Developing Client and Server Programs

When developing client and server programs using the virtual terminal APIs, you need to take the following items into consideration:

• The client program should be able to:
  • Interrupt the server program
  • Check the server program's status
  • Discard data from the iSeries^(TM) application
    
    
• The user should be able to configure a time-out to be used by the client program while waiting for screens from the server program.
  
  
• Pressing the Print key on the work station should create a file to be printed at either the work station or the iSeries printer.
